Feb. 27, 1963 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Enlightens 'Dark Words' Jesuit Explains Philosophical History AN EXPRESSIVE GESTURE and a thoughtful look characterize Father Martin D'Arcy, S.J, as he speaks informally to Sister Mary Jean Michael, B.V.M, chairman of the philosophy department and senior Rosemary Harrington. Father spoke here Feb. 15. In his book God and the Super natural, Father Martin D'Arcy, S.J., preacher, head master and former provincial of English Jesu its, has called words dark shapes. But those who were privileged to meet Father during his visit to Mundelein Feb. 15 found his dark words lighting philosophical hori zons. Speaking against the backdrop of Lake Michigan in McCormick Lounge, Father D'Arcy outlined a philosophy of history which sees wholes. Evading the pitfalls of easy formulae he charged that there are some things which mere facts fail to reveal. And we do not know a fraction of facts anyway. Rather we must learn to ask the right questions of old structures and new, encircling each man's personal history. We must Name 128 on Dean's List; Class Representation Rises The recently posted first semester Dean's List, containing 128 names, shows an over-all increase in the percentage of students named from each class.

The Christian may not be blind, said Father D'Arcy. He must look at documents, build upon them, make them talk to him of ultimates. A sympathetic and imaginative use of cosmic dimensions reveals each individual as a composite of a thousand years' thickness and richness, beauty and uniqueness. Human acts, said Father, are a process of potentially perfect acts effecting the whole of history. States Conviction With conviction Father main tained that the only possible, whole philosophy must be in accord with the mind of Christ, the divine scheme. We are committed to walk on the waters; to say yes, to say no. I stand before you to say there is only life or death in every action. The devil has been checkmated and finished. The game is finished, we are committed to all that is rich, all that is valued. Using phrases from, my beloved Hopkins, the vasty poet on whom he is a prime authority, Fa ther D'Arcy spoke of the agape and eros of his Mind and the Heart of Love. We are pledged, he said, to make history relevant to life, and life relevant to the world. Moving toward the crux of his Students Present Japanese Drama The enchantment of Japanese contemporary drama and the nov elty of theater-in-the-round will be combined in the student production of The Twilight Crane March 11. The performance, directed by Michaellene Federowicz and Pris cilla Soriano, will be presented in McCormick Lounge at 4:10 p.m., free of charge. Dramatist Jujni Kinoshita re lates with potent simplicity the tale of Japanese peasant Yoho (Patri cia Krogman) and the struggle of his wife (Bonnie Czarnecki), who mysteriously produces for her hus band a fine cloth woven of crane feathers. Yoho delivers this cloth to Japanese merchants, Sodo (Mary Rose Matus) and Unzu (Margaret Rotchford), who pressure Yoho to discover the source of his wife's supply and, thereby, to increase it. Jill Schmidt will narrate the story. THE SILVER-PLATED GAVEL recently awarded to the Mundelein Young Republicans is held by Marge Ostrander, president as the other club offi cers, Nancy Buckman, Lynne Bjorklund, Jean Svoboda, Terry McHugh and Laurie Nikola admire it. message, Father played his eyes over the assembled Sisters and fellow students. Asks Questions Asking the ultimate questions, what is it to be a human being? an authentic person?, Father D' Arcy speaks for the Church. I am seeing the mystery. Time magazine's comment on Father Martin D'Arcy touches one result of his personal magnitude: His urbane charm and cultivated mind have influenced a quarter century's crop of Oxonians, and helped bring many a British high brow into his broad-brow church. Reveals City Speech Plan During her visit with the Mun delein Speech Club Feb. 13, Miss Carol Crotty, supervisor of speech correction in Chicago public schools, outlined the city's program for speech correction, listed the quali fications required of teachers in the program and discussed in detail the problem of stuttering. Although the number of speech correctionists in the city does not as yet supply the demand, Miss Crotty said, in ten years, the need can probably be met. This is due to the widening appeal of careers in the speech correction field. Not only has the appeal of a ca reer in speech increased, but re quirements for acceptance as a qualified speech correctionist have also been boosted. In 1965, Miss Crotty said, an M.A. in speech cor rection will be required for certifi cation by the American Speech and Hearing Association. Miss Crotty's emphasis on the stutterer sprang from the fact that although stuttering is a common speech problem, its causes have not been definitely determined. A successful correctionist, Miss Crotty urged, must begin therapy free of preconceived notions about the causes of the difficulty. She must explain to the child how he stutters. Finally, she must teach him to change his pattern of speech, therefore facilitating his communi cation.
